buried a bit but this is what it's been the past few years
It’s an email. Acceptances come out first before WLs and Rs

This question is directed to any current MD students. Does anyone that lives in the apartments have a car and if they do, where do they park?

hahaha me neither derived my sdn name from my inorganic chem class
I fear I will be just like spider-man in that I will just keep taking Ls despite my humorous affect
but we ride or die together As or bust fr
Does anyone know what time of day they usually release decisions? I am trying to limit the amount of time I freak out (if that is even possible)
D
deleted1143918
11 AM EST is when they start
edited to add: they usually roll out a bit over an hour or throughout the day depending on the year. if you see people getting A's here and you haven't yet, it's not over

does anybody see Columbia under “choose my medical school” on AMCAS? Just curious (i dont see it)
Unless you already have an PHD-MD A, it wont show up until you have been WL or A
Just wanted to add that on Columbia's website they say decisions are released in early March so i doubt it'll be today
I saw MSAR was march 1 so I am betting on friday....staying chill till then 🙂

I am not a current MD student. I'm an applicant, but I'm a native New Yorker and want to say that you should never bring your car into Manhattan. It's not worth it at alll lol if you want to bring your car, I suggest you rent a room in Brooklyn or Queens, where rent may be cheaper than average Manhattan prices (but probably not as cheap as Columbia's housing).

Does anyone have any more thoughts as to whether we expect decisions Friday vs next Tuesday/Wednesday?. Trying to be less neurotic but saw comments on here about both

i think at this point its entirely speculation for either march 1 or next week. ill be tweaking from now until i get the email anyway haha
can’t wrap my head around the fact that we’ll be hearing back so soon. i’ve been waiting for ages

how are you so sure?

deleted1143918
just interpreting the vibes and the whispers of the wind (i.e. i'm not so sure) but just based on their patterns in past years and news through the grapevine
also bc my heart can't take more bad news this week, 3 is plenty 💀

yes but i think that historically its always been on a tuesday or wednesday? (correct me if im wrong) so thats where the possibility of it being next week is coming from
D
deleted1143918
yeah exactly! although decisions always start around 11 AM est so if there's silence by noon-ish we can chill
Here’s what I found, but I figure we’ll know in less than an hour if they release at 11am!
2023: March 1, Wednesday
2022: March 1, Tuesday
2021: March 2, Tuesday
2020: March 2, Monday
2019: Feb 28, Thursday

I think that today is not the day

Why do you say so? Last year, acceptances went out at 12:05 EST on 3/1, so I thought today was still an option
Oh gosh, not sure, just a ~feeling~ haha

Keep that feeling to yourself 😂😂 Let’s not put that out into the universe 😭 I’m trying to get the decision today and end this torture
Hahah I'm sorry lilac and others!! Fingers crossed for today!! I'm with you!!!
all good dearest potatoe
I sometimes think admin people watch these threads just to ensure premeds are still being neurotic as always[emoji23] WE WANT DECISIONS COLUMBIA! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
